Why do you people even ship blarke, I do not understand. If it would be romantic it would already be romantic? You are hoping for fanservice and to make a bisexual woman go with a man. Why do you ship this ship? I am genuinely asking
*breathes in hard through nose*
Oh my god. Okay. I’m sorry. I just had a trauma flashback to 2015. I’m good.
You may be genuinely asking (lol, are you? doubt it) but I am GENUINELY BAFFLED by your bafflement. I hate to be rude to the people who take time out of their day to shoot me a message but this is so clearly an attempt to get me riled up that I SHOULD ignore it.
But I’m me. So I can’t. So I’m going to spit fire at you, thanks for coming!
BELLAMY AND CLARKE IS THE STORY OF THE 100. THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE STORY OF THE 100. THEY ARE THE CENTRAL FIGURES CARRYING THE PLOT ALONG, AND THEIR DYNAMIC IS THE LITERAL CENTRAL FOCUS OF THE SHOW. EVERYTHING ELSE IS BUILT UPON IT.
If you can’t see that, I can’t help you. Luckily for me, thousands of other people CAN see this, so they ship Bellarke. Or at the very least, they’re emotionally attached to Bellamy and Clarke as a unit, even if they’re not the type to ship things romantically until there’s on screen making out (CANNOT RELATE). Because Bellamy and Clarke are the central dynamic of the show and always have been. That and Bellamy/Octavia, but hey, you’re not here denying that Bellamy/Octavia is a significant relationship, because you would be OUT OF YOUR SKULL STUPID to do that, because you’ve literally seen at least thirteen seconds of this show.
(Though i have a terrible suspicion you’ve only seen parts of this show, and you certainly didn’t start watching from the beginning.)
Now let me eviscerate this FUCKING ASK line by line because I am still consumed by the raging fires of hell and wish to burn down all that you love 0:-)
“Why do you people even ship blarke, I do not understand.” I believe I just said why: because they’re the central relationship of the show, they are fascinating and complicated and I have watched their dynamic evolve, strengthen, and deepen for FIVE YEARS OF MY LIFE. You don’t have to ship them, but I personally think you are missing the fuck out, because they’re one of the most carefully drawn and emotionally compatible fictional couples I’ve ever had the pleasure to invest in. They’ve been tested by fire, betrayal, death, and the literal apocalypse, and yet they’ve only strengthened. They have a near mythic bond, and a love of epic proportions. This isn’t just me romanticizing them. This is literal canon. It’s the text of the show. If you don’t like that, then you don’t like that, but I’m SICK TO DEATH of defending what is LITERALLY ON THE SCREEN AND HAS BEEN SINCE THE PILOT OF THE SHOW.
“If it would be romantic it would already be romantic?” Look. We are all frustrated out of our brains at this slow drip. It’s agony, but shipping is agony. Fiction is agony. Slow burns are the real deal. There are so many fictional ships that don’t sail within five seasons! This is not weird! The whole POINT of (good) romance is holding out long enough that the payoff tastes all the sweeter. It’s earning that GREAT DESSERT at the end of a long ass day and after eating all your vegetables.
You know who wants dessert first? You know who doesn’t have the patience to wait for their dessert, so they stuff it in their faces immediately and end up with a stomach ache? CHILDREN. LITERAL CHILDREN. Do your waiting in Azkaban. The dessert will taste better. Eat your fucking vegetables.
The reason these five seasons of waiting for Bellarke to finally acknowledge the romantic undertones (i refuse to say “become canon” because bitch it’s CANON) has felt longer than waiting for Godot is SOLELY to do with OUTSIDE, NON-TEXT, BEHIND THE SCENES FACTORS. It’s because of cast interviews, Jason interviews, media analysis, and PR DISASTERS that I do not have to name because you are obviously intimately aware of it, judging by your next and most heinous sentence.
“You are hoping for fanservice and to make a bisexual woman go with a man.”
Repeat after me, satan’s spawn.
Clarke Griffin is bi on a boat.
Clarke Griffin is bi with a goat.
Clarke Griffin is bi in the rain.
Clarke Griffin is bi on a train.
Clarke Griffin is bi no matter who her partner is because it fucking doesn’t matter. Clarke Griffin is a bisexual earth princess and get the fuck out of here with invalidating who she is.
Do you…do you know what bisexual means? It means…bi…sexual? It means that Clarke Griffin is attracted to, and has the capability of loving, both men and women and everyone in between. And again, this is CANONICAL. IN THE TEXT. ON SCREEN. DO YOU HAVE EYES. I HONESTLY QUESTION IF YOU DO. PERHAPS YOU ARE A MUTANT TROLL FROM THE DEEP WHO HAS EVOLVED WITHOUT A FACE. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED. This is some heinously biphobic shit and it’s not allowed in my house. Sorry. There’s the door. Out you go.
